About Flat Pedals

Flat pedals are ideal for those not wanting to use a clipless pedal system, they provide a large grippy platform for normal shoes to grip too. You can fit toe clips and straps to some flat pedals to benefit from pulling upwards when pedalling on hills or accelerating, these tend to be more for road/commuting use. Generally the main use for most types of this pedal now is Freeride or Downhill where quick placement and removal of the foot is essential.

About the DMR brand

DMR was kicked into life in the Winter of '95, the idea was to make UK designed bike parts that worked for the way we liked to ride.

Magazine reviews for DMR V8 Flat Pedals

Review from
Bikeradar

These are essentially mountain bike pedals but they work equally well on any bike, whether it's a BMX, ﬁxer, tourer or town hack, where you want a large, ﬂat, grippy platform pedal at a relatively low price.

These run on chromoly axles with loose bearings and have a grease port on the aluminium body to keep them running smoothly – there's a grease syringe in the box to do this. (Also available are sealed-bearing V12 models at £47.95 and magnesium-bodied ones at £59.95.)

The ﬂat aluminium bodies are slightly concaved to help your foot sit in the right position, and 13 studs hold them securely where you put them. Some of these studs are replaceable and the correct Allen key is in the box. These pedals can be completely rebuilt and all spares can be bought.

The V8s are available in 1/2in and 9/16in sizes, in a rainbow of colours to suit.

In conclusion...

Good value, very grippy ﬂat pedals

Good grip and good priceI wanted some new pedals for my mountain bike with better grip. I compared quality and prices for the pedals and some other items. These looked good on the website and I wasn't disappointed when I fitted them to my bike.

UnreliablePlus points - a wide comfortable pedal that grips well, can be lubricated and is adjustable.
Negative points:
a. No instructions for adjustment or lubrication are enclosed.
b. An odd bevelled washer is included, the purpose of which is not clear but may possibly be to "seal" the inside ball race, floats ineffectually around between pedal & cranks.
c. 2 new pairs ordered for my tandem arrived with 3 of the pedals badly adjusted (too tight) and the bearings of the 4th (which didn't appear to need adjustment) broke up within the first 10 miles of use.

Great pedals for everyday commuter useBulky but that's a pro if you go for security. Does the job well, easy to install, works and looks great.

Are These Pedals Suitable For Any Shoe?

Asked by: PEff

I tend to just wear skate type shoes when cycling and they grip well on those. I'd say pretty much any trainer would suit although maybe not 'proper' shoes due to the nature of the harder soles and the way that the studs are designed to dig into the sole of the shoe to maintain grip. Hope that helps.

What's the difference between the V8 and V8 Mag?

I was assuming the only difference was the material, however they look different in the photos.

Asked by: phil3012

the V8's are made from Alloy where as the V8 Mag's are made from formed Magnesium making them lighter but as strong. I hope this helps.

These pedals are supplied with a syringe of grease. Does this need to be applied initially or are thet pre-greased?

Asked by: GangleFlurp

I applied the grease when fitting them to the bike as the threads were dry

What is the diference between the V8 and the V12?

Asked by: petereyres

The V8 has a sleel axle and unsealed bearings, the V12 has a Chromed Cro Mo axle in silver instead of black and uses sealed bearings. The V12 is therefore lighter and more robust with less need for maintenance.

Can I use toe clips with this pedal? If not, can you recommend a good pedal for a similar price which I can use toe clips with on a road bike?

Asked by: nicsimpson

Not without some clever alterations. The fronts are sloped, so the clips won't sit right

Would these pedals be any good on my road bike as I dont like the idea of getting cleats at the moment?

Asked by: Jrego

Do they come with amber pedal reflectors?

UK Regulations require amber reflectors on the front and back of each pedal, this look like they might be able to fit them but it's not clear if they come with it or what can I purchase to attach them to this particular model.
